Here's one I must plant -- in quantity -- every year.

This Italian Genovese-type basil is from seeds a friend brought back from Italy 5 years ago. It's my very favorite basil for cooking (and pesto!), and if you were at Hart's plant swap this spring, you probably had a seedling pressed upon you. I have a big platter of seed drying now, because I think everybody should grow this basil!

For the last couple of years, I've planted a double row of it at one end of the garden, in front of some tomatoes...
